I really drool when people talk about famous restaurants like Saravana bhavan. Here in Chicago there are very few south Indian restaurants. Well, for the past one year, I have never had a decent coconut chutney in the hotels! I guess they just mix salt with the coconut flakes and do seasoning. I wanted to taste our own “thengai chutney with ven pongal”. Here is my earnest attempt in making the ven pongal

I always wanted to try this dish, ur recipe looks easy. I have just recently started a blog, do visit sometimes and would make my day if u leave some comments. ur blog is very impressive in terms of page design and readability factor. Keep up the good work!!

Anu this is so yummy…. You are absolutely right.. the so called chutney and sambar in restaurants in Frankfurt is horrible.. In fact sambar is jus diluted curry powder sorts with some swimming veggies… the best way is to cook and blog.. HA HA
